Subject: This is the funniest thing I've read re Kill Bill yet

Admirers of Ronald Reagan are expressing anger over CBS's planned miniseries
about the former film star and president and are calling on CBS to shelve it.
Philadelphia public interest lawyer Jonathan M. Stein, in an article posted
on the conservative NewsMax website, has suggested that Nancy Reagan sue CBS
for defamation. "CBS must be stopped from ever airing the program," Stein
wrote. NewsMax commentator Geoff Metcalf wrote Monday: "The Reagans is a Kill
Bill without the hacked-off body parts. It is petty, mean-spirited character
assassination and it demands vengeance." And Reagan's former chief of staff
and attorney general, Edwin Meese, called the miniseries "a very cynical and
very malicious plot, really, to try to darken [Reagan's] reputation." 

--why, yes, of course. That makes even less sense than the Ulysses analogy.
